I played at high master/grandmaster level for over a year without knowing that I could add units to hotkeys by using shift-N.

For me it was that hold command makes your units target harvesters. Useful for marine drops in mineral lines or zerg run bys.

Oh that's awesome. Makes hellions far more effective in mineral lines.

I don't think they target workers, they target the closest unit in range, which would be a worker if you are standing in a mineral line.

Since MULEs can't be loaded into a medivac, can locusts or infested terrans be loaded into overlords or burrowed?


I believe you can actually burrow them, infested terrans at least, but you cannot lift them(unless you are using a phoenix :D)

I learn that in ZvZ in a muta war, if you wanna get an advantage over your opponent, the best way is to put some lings at the bottom of the mutas, this way your lings will get this extra hits from enemy mutas and not your mutas.

When my ally disconnects in a 2v2 (we are both zerg) and I build an overlord with one of his larvae, it doesn't add to my supply. It's just an ugly, creep-crapping paperweight. Also, his larvae can only morph into units he has the required buildings for, and they don't get my upgrades.
Yet I still somehow won that game alone and the win put us into master's league. Ha!


The overlord adds to your disc'd teammate's supply. You can continue building all of his tech tree if you can manage it while building your own army.

If i'm playing 2v2's with another Z, and he discs, i'll just build a tech building for him as well as for me, to keep being able to build the same all on the same hatch hotkeys (or i'll just use all my larvae on things like hydra and roaches, and make all of his lings)

From beta until early HotS I never realized that zealot charge also increases their base movement speed.

They're almost as fast as fucking stalkers! SINCE WHEN!? apparently since forever.


I just learned something too. I had no clue.

Also, in the Batte.net UI, there are slash commands! I never knew! How long have these been around?


Wait seriously?? Wow I learned something new...

if you press and hold Ctrl when you have and army selected then click on 1 unit in the hotkey/ unit selected it will select all of them. I have been pressing shift for getting shit out of control groups for 2.5 years, could have saved me SO MUCH TIME. thanks to demuslim for doing that trick on his stream and me being like wtffffff

wow wtf are you serious

this is going to be so amazingly helpful ;_;


wait i dont get this.



If you hold CTRL + SHift and click on the unit you would like to deselect, this action removes all of said unit.

I learned that Zealots have a second death sound programmed into the game (normally only ever activates in a x8 replay of all things). Instead of just screaming and burning up, the dying Zealot will say "Khala embrace me" while burning up.

When playing Zerg (I'm Random), sometime you get all your queens in the same place to defend air attacks or drops or anything.
It took me about 2 years to realize I don't need to manually send each and everyone of them back to their hatch to inject; but I can just box them all and inject all hatches and they'll all go to a different one! Saves lots of time!


Same as any cast like storm or fungal...try it.

Wow. This would be so much better imho...

Is there an engagement sound that doesnt make Zealots seem like total pansies? (Icannothold...)
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

I didn't know Banelings deal 80 damage (unupgraded) to buildings until I was flabbergasted by 5 banelings wrecking 3 spine crawlers. They appearantly also get +5 damage vs buildings per melee upgrade, meaning you only need 16 upgraded banelings and a zergling to absorb a shot to destroy a PF!

Gotta love finding things out XD
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

Queens are armored so that's actually correct. Hydra's are light though :D

If you put SCVs on auto repair in a medivac, they will repair hellions inside the medivac as well.
